Apam Balik or Ban Chien Kuih or Peanut pancake is one of the popular local delicacies in Malaysia.The only Apam Balik version that I like is the thin crepe version Apam Balik.I wanted to make the thin crepe Apam Balik for the longest but didn't find the urge to do until now. I look high and low for thin version crepe Apam Balik recipe online but afraid to tried out the recipe.I didn't realise I bought Agnes Chang's Hawkers' Delight cookbook which it's have a Apam Balik recipe in there.The photo she shown look like thin crepe version.So last weekend I tried out the recipe but found the crepe is quite doughy so I alternate her recipe by adding extra liquid or water..By adding extra liquid the crepe come out perfectly right! Viola!! now I also can make perfectly thin crepe Apam Balik!! Now I don't need to wait until I can go back to Malaysia to enjoy this delicacy .

Ingredients:(A)

Dough:

173 gm plain or all purpose flour

10 gm rice flour

30 gm corn flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp bicarbonate soda (I added 1 tsp by mistake)

1/2 tsp salt

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

6-7 oz water or milk or santan(coconut milk)*I added double the portion water or add 2 tbsp at one time for the right thin crepe consistency*

150 gm castor sugar

Filling:

120 gm melted butter

150 gm castor sugar

1 cup roasted crushed peanut

7-8 tsp cream sweet corn

some young grated coconut*optional*

Method:

1:Mix all ingredients( A) into a mixing bowl.Beat well with mixer.Strain the batter before keep in the fridge for 3-4 hours before use.(I store overnight)2:Heat a 7" or 8"non-stick pan at low heat.Check the batter,if it's too thick,add 2 tbsp water at one time..Use a big ladle to scoop the batter into the non-stick pan to form pancake shape,sprinkle some sugar on the top and cover with lid.Cook until lightly golden brown.Sprinkle some crushed peanut,butter or grated coconut or any filling you prefer,fold crepe into half.3:Remove crepe from heat and serve it warm.

Wow, this look really thin and crispy. I too tried out Agnes recipe but it was not as thin as yours. Can you let me know how much extra water you added to the batter? I like your crispy version better.

Icook4fun:I think you have the same Agnes recipe cookbook as mine.Her dough comes out thick too.actually I accidently add 1 tsp baking soda instead of 1/2 tsp...I wonder maybe my mistake that make the crepe too thick...so I keep adding water the next day..50 ml at first ,then try to cook the crepe again..still too thick.I throw the crepe away.add more water by agak agak...by now I sudah lupa how much I added...But I know the batter must be watery consistency if you want the super thin crepe!!

I tried making this before but don't remember who's recipe I used..It turned out thick like "tai gau meen" I don't like that I prefer apam balik. I wish I can have a piece of it :( If I have the guts again i should try this again...Yours looks like u can get at pasar malam!!send me one plss!!!!

Chris:Did you add extra all purpose flour? or forget to add in corn or rice flour? corn and rice flour have better crisp body than all purpose flour..Maybe if next time you make the batter again try minus lesser all purpose flour and add extra rice flour in order to have crispy crepe rather than soft..hope this help

I have been using your recipe for food preparation and they love most your crepes that i took nutella or peanut butter plus caramel as fillings. They are drooling. I found your recipe n measurement are very much accurate compare to others that ive tried. Thanks :)

Hi I was looking for apam balik recipe and blogging to your blog here. After reading your content post i realise this recipe is from Agnes Chang cookbook and I have this cookbook too. I think you might have typed the ingredients for rice flour wrongly....the cookbook written 100g rice flour but you type out 10g. Just to let you know or maybe if you have used 10g makes better crepes? I prefer thin and crispy types.

I love the soy sauce chicken 醬油雞 that sold in Chinatown.The meat of the chicken is soft ,moist ,delicious, effortless and can keep for a fe...
